Radar Angels and other things

Soon I'll update you on my trip to the Big Apple, which I just returned from last night, but for now I have had a whole slew of articles come out! Check em out... Let me know what you think. I've been a busy girl!

Save the Birds - With Doppler Radar: Doppler radar helped save the Texas forests where millions of migratory birds rest each spring. My first article in the award-winning Miller-McCune magazine, Apr/May 2011. It was picked up in a blog post on the Knight Science Journalism Tracker. Before they knew they were birds, radar experts called the unexplained interference "angels."

"The opening of this piece was beautifully written. It made me slow down from the frenetic pace of online reading and enjoy the images of the Texas lowlands." - First comment on the Miller-McCune website

"Evocative, focused, surprising, and narratively pure" - KSJ blogger Charlie Petit

Changing Planet, Planet Health Q&A with co-author Paul Epstein, Harvard professor at Climate Central. Praised by the book's co-author Dan Ferber as "the most probing, incisive, interview that either of us have done so far."

Traffic Trigger. Do traffic-related stress and air pollution trigger more heart attacks than cocaine, caffeine, anger, or sex? Environmental Health Perspectives. May 2011.

Islands in the Sun. A new project on urban heat islands by University of Minnesota professor Peter Snyder. Momentum magazine news piece. Spring 2011.
